Yorkshire Post:
Schools Minister Lord Nash made the call ahead of three events taking place in place around Leeds this week to promote the Government’s academies programme in the region.
The Department for Education is looking for academy sponsors to take on struggling schools and Lord Nash warned that although many schools in Yorkshire are performing well there are still primaries and secondaries where children were “not getting the standard of education they need”.
Lord Nash said: “I want to see all schools in the area achieving the very best for their pupils. There are some fantastic examples of great schools here – but equally there are cases where children are not getting the start in life they deserve.
“I would urge businesses and public-spirited individuals and groups to come forward and sponsor an academy, become a governor or get involved in another way in helping young people realise their potential.”
